Accounts receivable . . . . . . . . 10,000 10,000 14,000

Total assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity
Cash + Accounts receivable + Land and buildings = Accounts payable + Mortgage payable + Owners' equity

Company A
45,000 + 10,000 + 75,000 = Accounts payable + 60,000 + 45,000
130,000 = Accounts payable + 105,000
